Larry, you meant rumors in Texas. I think of the fellow across the street the day after the Bay of Pigs. If a kid in the heartland calls the president an expletive-deleted traitor in '61, does it take the sting out of the assassination two and a half years later?
When it's multiplied by the reaction of the Brigade and its intelligence and military trainers and handlers--for those not killed were tortured unspeakably.
This was a plan sold as a slam-dunk in Tenet's phrase. A popular uprising was forecast. The invaders could "go guerilla (in mountains miles away across swamps teeming with troops).
Ted Dealey mocked the president to his face with a smear involving "Caroline's tricycle". The Welcome leaflets. The Wanted for Treason ad.
Our friend the fiduciary reported to Caro the visit to his Boston house of a hundred by Eliot Janeway financial advisor and first sponsor of Johnson summer of '63. Janeway hissed a speech "what a dangerous man this Kennedy was" and left presumably to spread his venom throughout the city, something our friend said could've been done in a day then, such were the limited number of firms.
For November '61 when Dulles was forced out Operation Mongoose was formed:
At a meeting of this committee at the White House on 4th November, 1961, it was decided to call this covert action program for sabotage and subversion against Cuba, Operation Mongoose.

This is the month Dulles calls in Hunt as personal assistant for a publishing project completed in 1963.
I submit the Helms-Harvey-Maheu-Roselli-Lansdale shuffle was to mask the planning for the assassination, that the publishing project masked the planning of the assassination, that in a manner reminiscent of disinfo merchants Waldron-Hartmann wheels turned within wheels and many thought they knew, but only a few knew.
The general fog was that Kennedy was soft on Communism, had chickened out at the Bay of Pigs, had chickened out at the missile crisis, had really gone too far to the left with the test ban treaty and the backchannel diplomacy with Khrushchev and Castro.
Our friend from Army intelligence stressed how "dangerous" Kennedy was.
The initial ruse involved blaming and framing Cuban Communists and Soviet KGB officers.
The commission came from Acheson and Rostow et al. The quick contraction of the coverup held one man alone responsible.
In DiEugenio Destiny2 Kerry Thornley provided the psychological profile the commission used.
And this hewed to the skewed screed Dulles foisted upon his fellow commissioners, U.S. assassinations done by lone assassins.
Actually the only lone man was the presidential peacemaker in a time of wardrums.
Banister had been in touch with Hunt who was I stipulate Dulles' man.
Arcacha Smith in whose apartment Lt. Francis Fruge said were found maps of Dealey's sewers.
Arcacha Smith who was going to kill the president according to Rose Cheramie.
A president whom half the country despised in the time of choosing Red or Dead
By the design of the man who'd built the agency growing from the OSS wartime covert operation through the Truman statute of 1947
As the Aliens in the Sigourney Weaver films the Agency gained access and grew in power and permeation
Ike warned of it; Truman urged its re-caging
Like SkyNet it achieved selfawareness

It is in denial
